Park Town questions
Can you do a hog roast in Oxford University Parks?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Park Town?
Oxford station, about 0.9 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you cater in Park Town?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
